Impending Destruction from the North

6"O you children of Benjamin, Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, And set up a signal-fire in Beth Haccerem; For disaster appears out of the north, And great destruction.H1121H1144H5756H7130H3389H8628H7782H8620H5375H4864H1021H7451H8259H6828H1419H7667 2I have likened the daughter of Zion To a lovely and delicate woman.H1820H1323H6726H5116H6026 3The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her. They shall pitch their tents against her all around. Each one shall pasture in his own place."H7462H5739H935H8628H168H5439H7462H376H3027 4"Prepare war against her; Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day goes away, For the shadows of the evening are lengthening.H6942H4421H6965H5927H6672H188H3117H6437H6752H6153H5186 5Arise, and let us go by night, And let us destroy her palaces."H6965H5927H3915H7843H759 6For thus has the LORD of hosts said: "Cut down trees, And build a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished. She is full of oppression in her midst.H3068H6635H559H3772H6097H8210H5550H3389H5892H6485H6233H7130 7As a fountain wells up with water, So she wells up with her wickedness. Violence and plundering are heard in her. Before Me continually are grief and wounds.H953H6979H4325H6979H7451H2555H7701H8085H6440H8548H2483H4347 8Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited."H3256H3389H5315H3363H7760H8077H776H3427 9Thus says the LORD of hosts: "They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; As a grape-gatherer, put your hand back into the branches."H559H3068H6635H5953H5953H7611H3478H1612H7725H3027H1219H5552 10To whom shall I speak and give warning, That they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, And they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the LORD is a reproach to them; They have no delight in it.H1696H5749H8085H241H6189H3201H7181H1697H3068H2781H2654 11Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD. I am weary of holding it in. "I will pour it out on the children outside, And on the assembly of young men together; For even the husband shall be taken with the wife, The aged with him who is full of days.H4392H2534H3068H3811H3557H8210H5768H2351H5475H970H3162H376H802H3920H2205H4390H3117 12And their houses shall be turned over to others, Fields and wives together; For I will stretch out My hand Against the inhabitants of the land," says the LORD.H1004H5437H312H7704H802H3162H5186H3027H3427H776H5002H3068 13"Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is given to covetousness; And from the prophet even to the priest, Everyone deals falsely.H6996H1419H1214H1215H5030H3548H6213H8267 14They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, Saying, 'Peace, peace!' When there is no peace.H7495H7667H1323H5971H7043H559H7965H7965H7965 15Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD.H3001H6213H8441H1571H954H954H1571H3045H3637H5307H5307H6256H6485H3782H559H3068 16Thus says the LORD: "Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'H559H3068H5975H1870H7200H7592H5769H5410H2896H1870H3212H4672H4771H5315H559H3212 17Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.'H6965H6822H7181H6963H7782H559H7181 18Therefore hear, you nations, And know, O congregation, what is among them.H8085H1471H3045H5712 19Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people—The fruit of their thoughts, Because they have not heeded My words, Nor My law, but rejected it.H8085H776H935H7451H5971H6529H4284H7181H1697H8451H3988 20For what purpose to Me Comes frankincense from Sheba, And sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me."H935H3828H7614H2896H7070H4801H776H5930H7522H2077H6149 21Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish."H559H3068H5414H4383H5971H1H1121H3162H3782H7934H7453H6 22Thus says the LORD: "Behold, a people comes from the north country, And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.H559H3068H5971H935H6828H776H1419H1471H5782H3411H776 23They will lay hold on bow and spear; They are cruel and have no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea; And they ride on horses, As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion."H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H6726 24We have heard the report of it; Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, Pain as of a woman in labor.H8085H8089H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205 25Do not go out into the field, Nor walk by the way. Because of the sword of the enemy, Fear is on every side.H3318H7704H3212H1870H2719H341H4032H5439 26O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.H1323H5971H2296H8242H6428H665H6213H60H3173H8563H4553H7703H6597H935 27"I have set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people, That you may know and test their way.H5414H969H4013H5971H3045H974H1870 28They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers. They are bronze and iron, They are all corrupters;H5493H5637H1980H7400H5178H1270H7843 29The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; The smelter refines in vain, For the wicked are not drawn off.H4647H2787H5777H8552H800H784H6884H6884H7723H7451H5423 30People will call them rejected silver, Because the LORD has rejected them."H3988H3701H7121H3068H3988
